Global Critical Mineral Market
Global Critical Mineral Market By Mineral Type (Copper, Lithium, Nickel, Cobalt, Graphite, Rare Earth Elements (REEs)), By Application (Agriculture, Automotive, Electronics, Telecommunications, Energy, Others) And By Geography – Covid-19 Impact Analysis, Post Covid Analysis, Opportunities, Trends And Forecast From 2023 to 2034
The global Critical Mineral market was valued at $325.3 Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.73% from 2023 to 2034. This growth is attributed to several macro and microeconomic factors such as
Increasing demand for Electric vehicles
The increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is a significant driver of the global critical mineral market. EVs rely heavily on critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, nickel, and rare earth elements for their batteries and electric motors. As the global shift towards electric mobility accelerates, driven by environmental concerns and government policies, the demand for these critical minerals is surging. This increased demand is stimulating exploration, mining, and processing activities, driving the growth of the critical mineral market.
Further several factors restraining the market growth include
Long project lead times
One significant challenge facing the global critical mineral market is the long project lead times associated with mining and refining operations. The process of identifying mineral deposits, conducting feasibility studies, obtaining necessary permits, and constructing mining and processing facilities is often time-consuming, typically spanning several years. These long lead times make it difficult to quickly respond to fluctuations in demand, potentially leading to supply shortages or surpluses. Additionally, geopolitical factors, regulatory hurdles, and environmental concerns can further delay project timelines, exacerbating the issue of supply chain disruptions and price volatility.
Advances in extraction technologies and battery recycling processes and collaborations and alliances in the Critical Mineral market are expected to generate higher avenues during the forecast period.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions have led to supply shortages or lower demand in the Critical Mineral market. The pandemic has caused a decline in new orders and a corresponding decrease in production.
This section will analyze how COVID-19 has impacted supply chains, leading to shortages and lower demand for Critical Mineral.
